someone could of missed the axle when they used a floor jack on the van and bent it,,,but its just a pipe,,,,,,take it off and straighten it up as best as you can,,,,,,its not very tough,,,,drive over it or use a pipe bender,,,,,and it dont have to be very straight as long as you can still get the tie rod ends to reach the proper toe in setting......

its just a threaded tube. if unable to straighten, buy a threaded tube of same size. summit and speedway both have them.

Thanks for the reply, I did just that today, took if off and took the rosebud to it, much easier than I thought and after cleaning the threads and painting it looks like new.

Yeah, mine's a little bent up too from years of owner's hitting things....my shop was able to set the front end to specs, seams like a typical "condition" with these vans....
